Wishing Wellness: Immune System Support

We all want our immune system to be as strong as possible. Dr. Scott works with patients to help create actionable steps to implement immune supportive strategies that work for you. 

Here at Wishing Wellness we are huge advocates of eating a healthy diet. Processed foods, preservatives, refined sugar, gluten and dairy are hard on the body as they increase inflammation.  Eliminating those foods and incorporating high quality vegetables, fruits, healthy proteins and fats is the best thing you can do for your body. Also eating fermented foods like kimchi or sauerkraut support the immune system by increasing helpful bacteria within the microbiome. Using fresh herbs and foods like ginger, garlic and turmeric will also help reduce inflammation thus help fight infection more effectively. 

Sleep is vital for the development of your body’s immune system. Poor sleep or chronic insomnia can increase stress hormones, promote inflammation and make your body more susceptible to infection. 

Exercise can help improve your sleep and fight stress, which are both important for immune function. Getting just 30 minutes of outdoor walking not only helps strength your body but it is also great to get fresh air and sunshine. 

If you are going to drink alcohol drinking in moderation is best. Alcohol is not good for your gut’s microbiome and can impair immune cells. If you drink in the evening, clear alcohol (like vodka), is better metabolized by your body compared to high-sugar drinks like wine. 

We talk a lot about self care on our Wishing Wellness social media. Self care is vital for our mental well-being which ultimately helps support our immune system. Stress is a normal part of life, and these days especially, it’s important to take active steps towards minimizing stress. Making time for things that relax you whether it is taking a walk, meditating, doing yoga, reading a book, or watching a show or movie are important for our health.

Wishing Wellness Psilocybin Mushrooms

Psilocybin mushrooms, commonly called magic mushrooms, have been used for centuries as a way to connect with mother earth and heal the soul.


Today, science is catching up with the ancient healing practices through research on the compound and the results thus far are very promising. Psilocybin has been shown to drastically reduce and may even eliminate completely the symptoms that are associated with depression, anxiety, addiction, and PTSD.


The practice of microdosing psilocybin (consuming a very low dose) has been reported as having the following effects:

- Increased focus

- Improvement in mood

- Increased levels of creativity

- A stronger sense of empathy towards others

- Decrease in anxiety


*Pls consult your doctor and local laws before consuming mushroom

Wishing Wellness Medicinal Garden

Growing a garden, like most things in life, takes patience.  

#LasVegas is a #Zone9 growing area and trial and error and mother nature have been the best teachers in figuring out what #medicinalherbs grow well in our #garden 

Here are a few medicinal herbs we've had success growing: 

#Echinacea is easy to grow from seed and takes about 10-20 days to germinate.  Sow outdoors about 1/2 inch deep. They are easy-care, low-water plants that like full sun and produce strong pink blooms which attract bees and butterflies.

#Astragalus seeds require a 21-day cold period of stratification to promote germination followed by mild scarification with fine-grade sandpaper, the seeds take 3-10 days to germinate. They can be transplanted outdoors in early spring. When transplanting, space plants approximately 15" apart. They like full to partial sun and well drained soil. 

#WhiteSage grows easily from seed and requires little maintenance once established. Start seeds indoors in early spring. Germination takes approximately 14 to 21 days. Plant outdoors in full sun and well drained soil. 

Wishing Wellness Medicinal Garden

Gardening reminds us of our connection to nature, and helps us focus on the bigger picture, which can alleviate symptoms of depression.

Also, the physical aspect of gardening releases feel-good chemicals in the brain such as serotonin and dopamine.

Wishing Wellness Sauerkraut

Easy #sauerkraut

Sauerkraut is easy to make and requires no special equipment and is delicious and great for gut health.

All you need to do is combine shredded cabbage with some salt and pack it into a mason jar.
The cabbage releases liquid, creating its own brining solution. Submerged in this liquid for a period of several days and once it has a flavor you like seal it and put it in the fridge to use.

Sauerkraut is made by a process called lacto-fermentation. There is ‘good’ bacteria present on the surface of cabbage (and in fact, all fruits and vegetables).
Lactobacillus is one of those bacteria, which is the same bacteria found in yogurt and many other cultured products.

When submerged in a brine, the bacteria begin to convert sugars in the cabbage into lactic acid; this is a natural preservative that inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria.

Sandor Katz – is the author of several books on fermentation and a great resource on fermentation in general, fermentation problem-solving, and fermentation health benefits.

We added garlic & horseradish to this recipe making it Paleo & AIP friendly.

Wishing Wellness Daily Walks

We always do a daily walk, all year long. Now that it is summer we do our morning walk very early in the morning before the major heat hits here in Las Vegas.

Walking is the most popular type of exercise in adults. It is free, does not require special training, and can be done almost anywhere. Even short, but regular, walks have substantial health benefits.
